Subject: .: Away :.

She stays away from the body, still catching the scent of death. And death attracts predators, ecspecially in a barren land like this one.

She nibbles at the grass that she can find above the snow, slightly ill-at-ease. She pauses constantly, looking around her and whickering in a barritone before resuming her grazing.

She answers her mothers call, sensing the slight concern in her voice. She too is wary, worried by the threat of predators, drawn by death.

She hangs her head in submission to her dam, licking and chewing. She will not move closer until she is accepted. Pepsi does not like others invading her personal space...

She allows her daughter to draw close, somewhat glad of the company. Where are the other herd members? She whinnies shrilly, ears pricked.

She bounds over towards her dam and half-sister; she too is uneasy about the silence from the others. She knows they dislike Pepsi, and perhaps even her a little, but to stay away completely...? She snickers softly, standing a few paces away, head and tail high.

She returns the call in only the way a mother can to her foal, eyes wondering. This herd is no longer active. Would her daughters join her if she wandered elsewhere? Life without a herd would not be safe; but do they even have a herd now...?

[> Looks toward pepsi, conmtemplating forgiveness -- Raider, 05:49:20 03/01/02 Fri

She was sorry that she had not been talking to the mare, and streches out neck in friendship, though she is careful not to upset the mare

She eyes the other suspiciously, then copies the movement, muzzle almost touching Raider's. She blows and quivers, then squeals sharply and snaps, backing up.

She whickers, glad to see Raider.

She is unsettled. Her instincts are to take her companions away; not from the territory, but towards the borders. The dead mare's body still lies there ... death attracts death. Yet she is not lead - not yet, anyway - and it makes her anxious. Where is Rage? Where is Bronco II? She paws furiousely at the air for a moment or two, frustrated by her own helplessness. Never before has she had to rely on others to make decisons.

She knew what Pepsi was feeling, but the scavengers would eat the remains of the mare, and though it sounded cruel, they would leave the rest of the herd alone. She nods to Jem(it was u that said hi?) then turns to graze
